Day 18

January 20th, 2011

Yet another day of birthday cake/pie in my office for a co-worker. Although sweets are not my thing normally, it looks amazing now. I sit in the mini party with my salad just so that I can be eating along with them. I try and avoid feeling hungry this way.

On a positive note, I read over the Post Purification Program guidelines yesterday. All the rules sounded positive. I am excited to reintroduce the different food groups one at a time. I am interested to see if I have any food intolerance to anything specific. I plan on keeping up with my journal as I fight my way through an additional 30 days. In all honesty though my battle with food with be a lifetime. I know that I will not detour right back to my horrible way of eating however, it will be a struggle not to indulge in my past favorites. I need to find a happy medium where I can treat myself with a not so good for me meal every once in a while as a reward. However, is it really a reward when I know I will feel bad immediately afterwords? Something for me to ponder.

So today is Day 18 which means that I have kept up with my plan problem about 17 more days that I expected to! Mini victory if you ask me.
So far today I have had my normal shake, supplements, spinach salad, carrots and baked chicken strips. Yep, you will find you kind of get into a groove for a while were not much changes diet wise. I am there now.
I will post my salmon recipe soon for those of you whom really have no idea how to cook salmon such as myself about 2 weeks ago.
Till the morrow....
